+ 15 May 2012 - Naked Mole-Rat
+ Assembly Now Available in Genome Browser
+ We are pleased to announce the release of a Genome Browser
+ for the July 2011 naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber
+ (BGI version HetGla1.0, UCSC version hetGla1). This draft assembly,
+ produced by the
+ Beijing Genomics Institute, has been sequenced using
+ Illumina reads with a sequencing depth of >20x. There are
+ 39,266 scaffolds with a total size of 2,643,961,837 bases.
+ The N50 size of the scaffolds is 1,321,980,918 bases with 502
+ scaffolds larger, and 38,764 scaffolds smaller. The mitochondrial
+ sequence is also available as the virtual chromosome "chrM".
+
+ Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available
+ via the Genome Browser
+ FTP server or the
+ Downloads page. These data have
+ specific conditions for use. The naked mole-rat browser
+ annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.
+ See the
+ Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and
+ individuals who contributed to the success of this release.
